Zakka Sew Along - Prettified Pincushion

It's the final stop on the Zakka Sew Along, did you enjoy it?

Being last in line means there isn't much more left for me to say about Ayumi's beautiful book that hasn't already been said before. I truly love it! The projects are as cute as can be which is to be expected from Ayumi. And the instructions are so nicely written, it really makes me feel like she's right there with me. If you have not got yourself a copy yet you really should!

I had the pleasure of sewing the prettified pincushion. A perfectly fun little project just right for when you need a quick sewing fix. I love small sewing projects for the instant gratification of going from start to finish in just a few hours.

The pincushion is great for showcasing a few of your treasured scraps. It has just the right amount of challenge to it in trying to make those corners nice and neat and matching up the small paper pieced patchwork top which makes it a lot of fun to sew.

So last chances to win some great prizes from the sew along sponsors: Aurifil, Form & Fabric, Pellon and Pink Chalk Fabrics.

Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win one of four prizes.

First winner will win a small fabric bundle and stickers from Form & Fabric and an Aurifil thread sample pack.

These prizes are available for EU entries only.

If you are located in the US you can leave a comment on this post to win a charm pack offered by Pellon.

To enter please leave a comment on this post. Make sure there is a way for me to contact you should you win.
The winners will be drawn randomly and announced Monday 21st of October 2013.

But that's not all

Please head on over to A Quilter's Table to link up your finished projects. You'll have a chance to win a $25 fabric bundle from Form & Fabric and a $20 Gift certificate from Pink Chalk fabrics!

I hope you enjoyed the sew along!

With the new Flickr format I'm finding it a lot more difficult to keep up with these kind of group activities I feel like I missed quite a few projects because I just couldn't be bothered to try and navigate my way through the 'black hole'. It used to be so simple, why did they have to change it.
Thankfully there's Instagram and Pinterest or else I'd be lost!

I have so enjoyed seeing all of the projects made from this book! I just purchased it early this fall and then found your blogs showing versions of all the projects. It's very inspiring! I was planning to start with the pincushion. Thanks for the chance to win!

I hear you on the flickr fiasco :(Love your pin cushion - I think I need to make one; maybe even this week as I seem to have a serious case 'start-itis' right now, I think its the impending cold weather!

Your pincushion is lovely. I use aurifil for piecing and would love more colours in my stash. I completely agree - Flickr is not as useable as it was since the 'improvements', so I use it much less, such a shame!

Lovely pincushion and final project from the book which is on my Christmas list. I have been following all the projects and reading all the blogs and can't wait to get started. In fact I made the embroidery pouch because it was so beautiful (without the book). jennylarking@gmail.com

Your pincushion is delightful! I love the way you used the chocolate fabric and the spool of thread fabric. I have some treasured scraps too, and this would be a perfect project. Thanks for the inspiration!
